We all feel annoyed when our dogs don’t come immediately, but it’s imperative that you control any anger, annoyance, or irritation you feel towards your dog, and do not let your emotions affect your reaction.
The best way to call your dog by voice is to always use the same cue (a word like, come!) called out in a happy, singsong voice. However, it’s tough to keep your voice consistent in every situation. Your dog can hear a whistle for many yards, and will never be able to tell if you’re angry, scared or anxious through the high-pitched tone.
Every time you whistle or call your dog, have a treat ready to give them when they come back to you. Learn what your dog really loves, and try to have that on hand as often as possible. Dry, crunchy biscuits are cheaper, but they are not very rewarding to most dogs. If your dog knows that you’ll offer them a boring biscuit upon their return, they won’t feel compelled to come when you call them away from a dead rabbit.
